This perfume, Nicole said, was inspired by the layered scents her mother wore when she was a child, which she describes as a combination of oils and lotions.
"I have a very traditional Southern mom — you never left the house without lotion. Over her lotion went oil and perfume — she was very put together from head to toe. It wasn’t just a one-dimensional smell — there were many different layers", Nicole said during a phone interview with WWD.
Nicole by Nicole Richie opens with notes of blackberry and Seville orange, has a heart of golden amber, Moroccan rose, lily of the valley and papyrus, and a drydown of sensual cashmere woods, sandalwood sugared patchouli and vanilla.
Nicole by Nicole Richie will also be available in the U.K. and Australia as eau de parfum in two sizes, 1.7 oz. for $55 and 3.4 oz. for $69, 6.7-oz. body lotion, $35, and a 6.7-oz. bath and shower gel, $28.
The Art Deco-inspired bottle was created with designer Dale Brandon Kan.
"I wanted to create a very intricate bottle that was still elegant, but not so in-your-face girly at the same time", Nicole said.
